I am kind of new to teaching. I have taught my little brother everything he knows, and I've been told I have a really good way of teaching. Younger students catch on very quickly to what it is I am teaching. If they don't catch on quick, then no problem. I'm very patient and never give up until a student understands the concept. I am very easy to get along with, so the student will have no problems with me. Altogether I am a very patient smart person eager to help new students learn; and if you want to have fun while learning, then I am the perfect tutor for you.

I have a two year elementary teacher certificate from Fiji where I taught school for five years before I got a scholarship to study in Hawaii. I noticed a great difference between American students and Polynesian students. Polynesian students are very passive learners and will never dare ask questions in class. The teacher can do pretty much anything he/she wants to do with little or no major challenges. American students on the other hand are full of life and excitement in the classroom and ask all kinds of questions that they could think of. I have learned that I need to be more resourceful, attentive and specific when teaching in an American setting. I had a job on campus during my last two years in college fixing computers and training the professors about how to use education software to teach effectively. When I came to Hawaii from Fiji to attend college, I was very interested in

Seeing the light bulb go off in my students’ head is a constant reminder of my passion for teaching. I believe that all students are capable of learning and succeeding however some students just need to be taught in an alternate manner. My style of teaching involves a great deal of patience as well as constant reinforcement to ensure proper understanding and recall. I allow my easy going and fun nature to shine through in my teaching style but make sure to keep the proper balance in allowing learning to be an enjoyable but serious endeavor. I believe that education is the key to a successful and fulfilling life and my goal is to instill that believe and capability in all the lives I have the opportunity to touch. Obtaining my Bachelors and Masters from a prestigious university has provided me with not only a pertinent educational background but also a great appreciation for the impor

I have always enjoyed sharing what I have learned with others. My ability to simplify seemingly difficult concept coupled with my sense of humor, makes me an excellent choice for tutor.

My goal is to provide what i call focused fun.

I believe in individualized teaching. In my sixth grade classroom, I individualized instruction wherever possible. In reading I tested my students and placed them in books at their reading level. I had them write reading summaries and corrected their first drafts. In sixth weeks, I retested and in most instances moved students to a higher level. In my math classes, I tested students and had them begin at the level that they needed to master. If a student could not add, I had him work on his addition skills. I moved students to the next skill level once they had mastered the level that they were working on. Of course, I did group teaching in my classroom, but I individualized wherever possible. I taught for twenty five years at the middle school level mostly in a self contained sixth grade classroom. In addition to teaching reading, English, math, science,and social studies, I taught

I am native French speaker and I have been living in Modesto area for 2 years. I am an agronomic engineer and I earned several academic degrees in France (BS and a MS in horticulture/agronomy). The last years, I worked in international environment in France and in California as an agronomist and market analyst. By teaching you French, I will also transmit a bit a French culture. In the past years, I teached young students with French and Mathematics, including my young brothers and sister. I am rigorous, detailed-orientated and well-organized. With a native speaker, you will quickly improve your French skills. As soon as the immediate objectives of your tutoring lessons will be defined, we will work together to achieve the goals. As I learned English as a second language, I truly believe that it is very important to improve your listening/speaking skills while keeping learning gr

As a life longer, I have searched out projects that not only allow me to draw upon my current experiences while at the same time pushing and expanding my knowledge. Doing this has allowed me to tackle everything form the very basic of projects not only in computer technology but also in general labor fields. This has lead me to take on projects such as an Arcade System while a student at Heald college. I love helping people to grow their understanding and reach their full potential. Not being one to stick stricly to the book, I have often employed many hands on and lecture based training aids. The only way for a person to truly learn is from their mistakes, as such, I take care to exercise patience and understanding.

Prior to receiving my degree from University of California, Davis, I worked in the classroom as a teacher’s assistant for two Professors at San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton, California. As a professor’s assistant, I had the opportunity to tutor students, grade assignments, and organize material for lectures and labs. I held tutorial sessions to clarify information for students who were in need of extra help with the class material. Being a tutor for math, science, and study skills required me to have patience and great communication in order to relate the information effectively. Also, I teach the fundamentals of basketball to children, ages 3-14, at the community centers and coach women’s varsity basketball at Bear Creek High School in Stockton, California. My experiences helped me motivate children to reach their highest potential so that they will have confidence to succeed in

As a biochemistry student at University of the Pacific, I was required to know the science so well that even if a random person on the street asks me a question, I would be able to explain it to him/her in a way that they could understand. I worked with a lot of excellent professors in lab and tutored a lot of students in grammar, math, sciences, psychology (one of my favor subjects), Spanish and Economics. I love to teach because I learn a lot myself by teaching. I love working with students, and sharing my knowledge with them. I try to make the learning experience fun along with educational. I love to come up with new ways to help students remember there material. I believe that I have the experience and the knowledge to help someone else. I think a teacher can really change the way how students look at the world and their course material, and I want to make it so that every subject is

I have worked for a software company training customers, clients and employees on the applications. I have also participated in Junior Achievement and have been very active in my son's school and the community. I am on 5 executive boards, ranging from PTA to a library foundation, and I also chair our annual Halloween festival at school. I have a degree in Accounting and Strategic Management with a minor in Economics, but have spent the last 2 years building websites for small businesses and local non-profits. I tend to work with the students to help them decipher the answer to a question, rather than give the answer directly. I believe that examples and samples of problems help students understand the problem. And I want to be a resource, not a crutch, to helping students achieve success. I am strong proponent of education and have spent considerable hours in the classroom observin

My students often say I can’t be a teacher because they “just get it" when I explain. Even so, my degree is in math and I've taught professionally and privately. I have a history of maintaining high scores and would rather show why something works than how to follow steps. I don't expect students to love math or do it "my way" but I want students to know math isn't scary. To this end, I explain every step, do assessments to determine student needs and base instruction on student knowledge. If possible, I like to make sure students are comfortable working alone before I leave and will help students learn mental shortcuts, use a calculator and think logically. Overall I love watching students succeed. In 1995, I began my official tutoring odyssey by assisting my classmates in AP Calculus. Every day during lunch I spent my half-hour helping my fellow high school seniors succeed, ultimat
